Greg Funderburk has a demonstrated gift for drawing captivating stories to an incisive point, like reversing a rainbow back into white light without losing any of the color. With Following Creation, the focused beam of his prose graciously challenges readers with each meditation. I am grateful he has shared his gift again.

If, in the dark nights of your soul or in the glory of Easter Sundays, you find yourself grasping for the hand of a traveling companion, boy, do we have the book for you. Greg Funderburk is witty and whimsical, while also bearing the scars of a live well-lived. While many daily devotionals offer a great deal of fluff and little into which one might sink their teeth, Following Creation, does just that. Rev. Funderburk offers us readers reflections worth chewing on. Bon appetit, friends!

In Following Creation: A More Sacred Path from Monday to Sunday, Greg Funderburk employs both an impressive breadth of reading material and his ability to apply wisdom and truths from his reading to everyday life. He skillfully weaves insights into his personal life in a way that enlivens our understanding of God’s Presence and activity. Truly, like Wordsworth, Greg “sees a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower,” noticing, observing, paying attention to the details of life and in books in such a way that he makes the reader wake up, as well. I love this book, and as a reader and a writer, I am inspired and encouraged by these daily readings.

I don’t know when Greg’s mind rests, but it’s not when he writes. Drawing from a trove of stories and wisdom gleaned from his voracious reading, he shares encouraging, often inspiring, day-by-day paths of hope leading to transformative weekly worship.

Greg Funderburk is at it again, offering learned, limpid meditations regarding thoughtful, faithful Christ-following! Patterned after the account of creation recorded in Genesis 1, Following Creation is a collection of sixty substantive reflections that creatively and gently guide us to “number our days, not so much counting them as making them count. Deeply humane, consistently insightful, and frequently funny, I will keep this volume handy for daily devotional reading so that I might lead a more devoted life.

Greg Funderburk is a Renaissance figure in our midst. Greg has a marvelous ability to take a simple thought or single word, to plumb its depths, and to bring out both a profound idea and a practical suggestion for living faith-fully today. This book is an excellent gift— for yourself or for someone you love. You can read it in a sitting, but it is better taken in slowly, with plenty of time between readings to ponder and reflect allowing each day’s word to find home in your heart.
